NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource identifies public-record channels in Chenango County, New York. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently from government. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or files papers for users.
Its function is to identify the Chenango County sheriff and courts, DCJS, the New York State Sex Offender Registry, and outside tools that may assist lawful personal research. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, applies to agency records, while Executive Law section 837 governs DCJS criminal-history functions and dissemination.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on the following rules. You may not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked service must never be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or discriminate. New York imposes special limits on misuse of New York State Sex Offender Registry data, and unlawful conduct directed at a registrant may carry criminal penalties. Registry information supports public safety awareness, not vigilantism or exclusion.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer reports, credit files, or official background checks. Our partners' tools are also not offered here for decisions governed by the FCRA. You agree not to use site or linked data to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A legally required check must follow the authorized official channel or a service that complies with all applicable FCRA duties.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. A licensed New York attorney should address how a warrant, charge, conviction, or record-sealing law affects a specific matter.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is," without a guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Charges, dispositions, custody data, and seals can change. Gaps and delays are possible, and nothing here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or other agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
External links may lead to official agencies, courts, legal resources, and outside search providers. We do not control those destinations, including their content, prices, privacy practices, or availability. Their own terms apply.
8. Intellectual Property
Chenango County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, modifying, distributing, or making derivative use requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from site use, linked services, or reliance on information found through either.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless against claims, actions, demands, legal fees, and related costs caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms.
11. Governing Law
New York law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to site use must be brought in a court located in New York.

13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
